4WELCOME TO LINK–MOBILECare Innovations™ created Link–Mobile to help people summon and receive help within the early minutes after a life-threatening event like a stroke, car accident, heart attack or fall. Timely response can mean recovering faster and suffering less severe complications. Link–Mobile pairs a cellular Communications Clip to a discreet Wristband. The Wristband, which may be comfortably worn day and night, can be set to manually or automatically trigger a notification to be sent to friends, neighbors, and loved ones or directly to our 24-hour a day Emergency Response Center. The Communications Clip is a pocket-sized device, so it is easy to take along when you leave home. Carry it in a purse, wear it on a belt, or clip it to a car’s seatbelt when driving. In the event of an incident, your notification, along with your location, will be sent automatically to the Emergency Response Center, and a text message and email will be sent to listed personal emergency contacts, enabling the Communications Clip to receive calls.INTRODUCTIONIn addition to being ready to request help in an emergency, Wearers can view their daily activity and set personal goals to encourage healthful movement and other activities. Immediate access to help minimizes the concern of not being able to reach out in an emergency.

6INITIAL SET-UP Prior to using your Link–Mobile system for the first time, it is important to charge all components fully. This will take approximately three hours.To charge the system, plug one end of the white charging cable into the Dock, and insert the other end of the cable into the AC power adaptor. Plug the AC power adaptor into an electrical outlet.To charge the components of your Link–Mobile system, first place the Wristband on the charging Dock, then place the Communications Clip on the charging Dock, as shown in the photo. The LEDs in the Wristband and Communications Clip will briefly light green when properly seated.When you are at home, the Clip can be left on the Dock and will always be charging. The Night Mode button on the Dock allows you to dim the LEDs at night. Should the Clip be misplaced while in the range of the Dock, pressing the Find Clip button on the dock will cause the Clip to send out BEFORE YOU STARTClip left on Dock will be kept fully charged.Wristband and Clip LEDs will briefly light green when properly seated, blink green while charging, then be solid green when fully charged.
7a locator tone. There is a battery level indicator on the Dock in front of each component’s charging slot. The battery icons on the Dock show how much charge your components have, even when the components are not attached.All battery level indicator bars will be green and will no longer roll when the system is fully charged.ACTIVATINGTo s et up y our L in k–M ob ile s ys tem , go to www.Link-Mobile.com or call our Customer Care center at 855-885-CARE (2273). To complete the set up, you will need your unique Set ID, which is located on the bottom of your charging Dock.Online Set-Up: If using the website to set up your system, follow the on-screen prompts. When you call to test your system, you will be asked to confirm your profile and settings.Phone Set-Up: When calling the Customer Care center, a representative will walk you through the set-up steps including fully testing your system.BEFORE YOU STARTNight Mode button turns off charging and battery indicators on Dock and attached devices (does not disable Panic or Find LEDs).
8FITTING THE WRISTBANDThe waterproof Wristband is so comfortable it can be worn around the clock, even when you sleep. To get the most comfortable and stylish fit, you can customize its size. Before fitting your Wristband, you will need to have the following items available to you: scissors, Phillips head screwdriver, and pencil or pen. Begin by cutting the paper ruler from the bottom of the Quick Start Guide.CAUTION: Before cutting the Wristband, confirm that it works by completing your initial set-up and testing with the Customer Care center.1. To get a measurement for the size of your Wristband, wrap the paper ruler around your wrist and note the inch measurement that best indicates a loose, comfortable fit. Your Wristband should fit snugly enough so you feel the vibrations when the alert is activated without having it feel too tight. Because your wrist size can fluctuate throughout the day due to changes in temperature, your circulation, and the medications you take, you need to experiment a bit.CLOSEOPENMARKBEFORE YOU START
92. Set the paper ruler on a flat surface and place the Wristband next to it. Ensure that the center of the Wristband is aligned with the middle of your paper ruler measurement. Mark both ends of your measurement onto the Wristband (using a pen or pencil) to indicate where you will need to cut.3. To best customize the fit of your Wristband, cut just a little off each end at first and wear it at least twenty-four hours. Remember, if it’s too big, you can always trim it shorter, but you can’t add length back.4. Fit a clasp onto each end of the Wristband strap with the plain side facing outwards. While you’re experimenting with the fit, simply attach the silver clasps without pressing down on the locking tabs. 5. Once you have determined the right fit for you, press down the locking tabs on the clasps until they tightly bite into the Wristband. (You may use a screwdriver as leverage for this step.)6. The two clasps on the Wristband connect magnetically. To u nd o it, p us h on th e tw o dot s an d twi st the cl as ps.BEFORE YOU START
10TESTING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE WRISTBAND AND THE COMMUNICATIONS CLIPFor proper operation, your Wristband needs to be in range of the Communications Clip. This works best at distances less than 150 feet in open air, but this range can diminish based on obstacles such as walls, doors, construction materials, and other electronic systems. To test if the Wristband is in range of the Clip, press and hold one button (either) on the Wristband for one second.If you are within range of the Communications Clip, the Wristband will vibrate once and the LED will flash green three times. If the Wristband is too far from the Clip, the Wristband LED will flash red and an Alert will be sent to your emergency contacts. If the LED flashes red when in close proximity to the Clip, refer to the Troubleshooting Section for resolution.TESTING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE CLIP AND THE MOBILE PHONE NETWORK The Link–Mobile Communications Clip needs a cellular network signal to operate properly. To test cellular network strength, press and hold either button on the Clip for one second or until a short and long vibration pulse can be felt.Within five minutes, the LED will flash orange where the number of flashes indicates relative cellular signal strength: U Three flashes: strong signalU Two fl as he s: av er ag e sig na lU One flash: weak, but usable signalU If the LED flashes red, refer to the Troubleshooting Section.USING THE LANYARD AND KEY RINGThere are two methods for attaching the lanyard: A) looping the lanyard connector thread through the Clip’s top peg and B) using the quick attach Accessory BEFORE YOU STARTOne Second
11Plate. To use the Communications Clip’s peg, loop the lanyard line around the peg and back over itself as shown.To wear the Clip via the lanyard, attach the black plastic connector looped through the Clip directly to the connector on the lanyard. Clip togetherThis black connector can also be used to attach the key ring to the Communications Clip. THE KEY RING CLIPAttach the white Accessory Plate your key ring. (HINT: This bright white plate acts as a great reminder to grab the Communications Clip when leaving home, even if you don’t actually attach the Clip to the Accessory Plate!)ATTACH TO YOUR KEY RINGTo attach your keys to the Communications Clip, simply pinch the Clip open and insert the Accessory Plate, tab first. When you return from your outdoor adventure, remove the Accessory Plate from the Clip and place the Clip back on the Dock to charge. USING LINK–MOBILE TO SEND AN ALERT FOR HELPLink–Mobile can send an Alert for help in two ways:U Manual — The Wearer intentionally pinches the Wristband or Clip buttons to request helpUSING LINK–MOBILE
12U Automatic — The Link–Mobile Wristband senses a possible fallMANUAL ALERTYou can send a request for help by squeezing both buttons at the same time on either the Communications Clip or the Wristband. In acknowledgement of your request, both the Clip and Wristband vibrate and the LED pulses blue continuously. The Clip sends an Alert signal to the Help Center computers. Depending on your service plan (Personal, Personal with Escalation or Professional), this Alert signal either:1. Sends an SMS* and email to your designated emergency contacts — (Personal)2. Sends an SMS and email to your designated emergency contacts and then waits four minutes for an acknowledgement** before escalating to the Emergency Response Center — (Personal with Professional Escalation)3. Directly alerts the Emergency Response Center of your need for assistance — (Professional)* When your emergency contact receives this SMS, message rates may apply.** Acknowledgments are performed by emergency contacts who follow a link in the SMS or Alert email within the time allowed. Personal Personal with Professional Professional EscalationUSING LINK–MOBILE
13TYPES OF ALERTSYour Link–Mobile system sends Alerts when the Wearer manually requests help by squeezing the buttons on the Wristband or Communications Clip or when the Wristband senses movement indicative of a fall. Clip or Wristband Alert — When the Emergency Response Center Agent sees an Alert, the Agent will call the Wearer via the Communications Clip to ascertain their needs and then seek to arrange the appropriate assistance. Following the Wearer’s predefined sequence, emergency contacts will be notified by phone. If help is needed from local emergency service providers (police, ambulance, fire, EMT), the Agent will contact them on behalf of the Wearer. If the Emergency Response Center Agent cannot make contact with or hear the Wearer, a call will be made to the emergency contacts in the order listed in the Wearer’s profile. When the call to the Communications Clip has ended, the Link–Mobile Communications Clip will automatically be reset by the Help Center computers, ready to work again when needed. A tone on the Clip will indicate the voice communications session has ended.Automatic Fall Alert — If the Wristband detects an event such as an abrupt shock or rapid change in acceleration, the Link–Mobile system is designed to interpret this as a potential fall. Both the Wristband and the Clip will vibrate and the LED on both will flash blue continuously. If in range, the Wristband will send an Alert to the Communications Clip, which then sends an Alert signal to the Help Center computers over the cellular network. USING LINK–MOBILE
14Depending on your service plan, this Alert signal triggers one of three actions:1. An SMS and email are sent to your designated emergency contacts2. An SMS and email are sent to your designated emergency contacts. If no acknowledgment** is received, the Emergency Response Center is contacted.3. The Emergency Response Center is directly alerted of your need for assistance** Acknowledgments are performed by emergency contacts who follow a link in the SMS or Alert email within the time allowed.Cancelling an Automatic Fall Alert1. If an Alert is triggered accidentally, it can be cancelled before the Alert signal is sent to the Help Center computers. To cancel an Alert, squeeze and hold both buttons on either the Clip or the Wristband until the LED on both units briefly flashes green and then goes out. 2. NOTE: As a safety feature to protect a confused Wearer, if both buttons are squeezed three or more times within thirty seconds, the Alert cannot be cancelled and will be sent to the Help Center computers. This will be treated as an Alert and, depending on your service plan, predefined response actions will follow.In addition, Link–Mobile can trigger an Alert to be sent to emergency contacts (SMS and email notifications) on other monitored events including: Low Battery — If Clip or Wristband battery levels are too low, the LED on the respective device will flash amber intermittently until the unit is placed on the Dock and battery levels recover. NOTE: Please allow three hours for a full charge. Out of Range — If the Clip cannot communicate with the cellular network or the Wristband cannot communicate with the Clip, the LED on the respective device will pulse red twice every five seconds. The red USING LINK–MOBILE
15flashing LED will go out when communications are restored.Activity — If the activity measured by the Wristband is either above or below a threshold set in the Link–Mobile Dashboard, an Alert is sent. No indication of this Alert is portrayed on the Wristband or Clip. Zone — If the Communications Clip enters a restricted map area or leaves a safe map area outside designated hours, an Alert is sent. No indication of this Alert is portrayed on the Wristband or Clip.TYPES OF SERVICE PLANSPersonal — All Alerts, including Panic and Fall, are sent only to emergency contacts (friends/family/neighbors), as defined in the Wearer’s profile.Personal with Professional Escalation — Clip and Wristband Alerts are sent to emergency contacts AND will roll to the Emergency Response Center if not acknowledged, within four minutes, by a click on the link contained in the SMS/Email. After the Emergency Response Center Agent acts, an email will be sent to all emergency contacts summarizing the actions taken (after-incident report). All other non-emergency Alerts are sent directly to emergency contacts only. NOTE: The links in the email and SMS are active for fifty minutes, after which they expire.Professional — Clip and Wristband Alerts are sent directly to the Emergency Response Center. An email is sent to all emergency contacts summarizing the actions taken (after-incident report). All other non-emergency Alerts are sent directly to emergency contacts only.Professional Plus — This service plan includes all the features of the Professional plan, plus advanced functionality and enhanced alert monitoring and reporting.

25Symptom Items to Check You Should See ResolutionExcess Auto Fall AlertsConsider changing from wearing on wrist of “dominant” hand to the other hand. Consider adjusting or disabling Auto Alert by calling the Emergency Response Center or visiting www.Link–Mobile.com.If you still have questions, contact Customer Care.Excess Low Battery AlertsNOTE: Batteries in the Wristband and Communications Clip are lithium ion type and do not suffer from “memory” problems typical in previous rechargeable battery technologies. Wearers do not need to allow devices to periodically discharge in order to extend recharge life.Both the Wristband and Communications Clip will indicate to the Wearer when they need recharging via the LED on the device, the LEDs on the charging Dock, and by sending an SMS/email to those whose profile indicates they should receive such notices. Expected life after a full charge is three days for the Communications Clip and seven days for the Wristband. Please allow devices to remain on the charging Dock for at least three hours to obtain a full charge. To reduce the number of notices about battery, instruct the Wearer to return the devices to the charging Dock when the LEDs on the Dock indicate a recharge is required. If you still have questions or believe battery life is too short, contact Customer Care.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
26Symptom Items to Check You Should See ResolutionZone Alerts The Communications Clip generates an Alert based on parameters defined by the Dashboard manager, who defines a geographic area from which the Wearer exits (inclusion zone) or enters (exclusion zone).In ideal conditions, the GPS signal received by the Communications Clip can indicate a location within three meters of actual location. Areas with tall buildings or placing the Communications Clip in an area with an obstructed view of the sky can result in the device mistakenly reporting a location at the far edge of device accuracy, often more than 300 meters from its actual location.To reduce the number of notices about zones, be sure that the zone has been drawn large enough to account for occasional stray GPS signals. For help drawing, see demonstration video on www.Link–Mobile.com under Help.If you still have questions or need help creating zones, contact Customer Care.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
27Symptom Items to Check You Should See ResolutionOut of Range AlertsThe radio link between the Communications Clip and the Wristband can be reliably maintained at distances of up to 150 feet in clear space. A home’s construction materials and interference from other devices can reduce the distance the Wristband can travel from the Communications Clip and still retain a connection.A break in the connection is reported on the Wristband by a red LED.A range test can be performed at any time by placing the Communications Clip on the Dock in the desired recharging location and pressing one side of the Wristband button. Do this while wandering around the living space. A green LED on the Wristband indicates a completed connection with the Communications Clip. The number of flashes (one to three) indicates signal strength where three is the strongest. A red LED indicates the Wristband is no longer communicating with the Clip.To reduce the number of notifications about the Wristband being out of range, the Wearer should carry the Communications Clip when they expect to move beyond the range that can reliably maintain a connection.If you still have questions, contact Customer Care.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
28Symptom Items to Check You Should See ResolutionNo Comms AlertsThe Communications Clip requires a cellular signal to send its information to the Emergency Response Center.Atmospheric conditions, a home’s construction materials and interference from other devices can reduce the signal transmission between the Communications Clip and cell towers. Since this can be intermittent, Dashboard managers have the ability to adjust the time interval before the Emergency Response Center will send a notification to emergency contacts saying that the connection with the Communications Clip and the cell tower has been lost. To reduce the number of notifications about the Communications Clip losing connection with the cellular network, considering adjusting the “Device not Communicated” slider to the right (slider can be found under Contacts section under System Notifications). Be aware that the ability to notify emergency contacts in the event of a panic or fall is not possible when the Communications Clip is not receiving a cellular signal. If you still have questions, contact Customer Care. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
